A grandmother overheard her five-year-old granddaughter
playing "wedding."
The wedding vows went like this:
"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say
will be turned around and used against you, you have
the right to have an attorney present.
You may kiss the bride today."

Three wives were bemoaning their husbands' attitudes
towards leftovers. "It gets rough," one said. "My
husband is a Movie Producer and he calls them
'reruns'."
"You think you have it bad," was the reply. "Mine is a
Quality Control Engineer and he calls them 'rejects'!"
"That's nothing compared to me," said the third lady.
"My husband is a mortician. He calls them 'remains'!"

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by
Luis Orellana-Rivera,
26,
Des Moines,
Iowa
Iowa man was arrested after stealing a taxi
An Iowa resident arrested for stealing a taxi moments after
his release from a Des Moines hospital told cops that he
boosted the ride because he did not want to walk the six
blocks to his residence.
According to police, Luis Orellana-Rivera, 26, hopped into
a running cab parked outside Mercy Medical Center. The taxi
driver told cops that he pulled up to the hospital’s front
doors and left the car running as he made a delivery to the
blood bank.
Pictured in the above mug shot, Orellana-Rivera allegedly
swiped the car around 6:15 AM Friday, immediately after
his discharge.
Shortly after the taxi’s owner reported the vehicle stolen,
Des Moines Police Department cops used GPS data to locate
the Ford Crown Victoria, which was parked less than a mile
from the hospital.
Orellana-Rivera was arrested as he exited the vehicle, which
was in a lot behind his former residence. A “friend/former
roommate” told police that Orellana-Rivera “has been having
mental issues lately due to drug usage,” and has been
“delusional and paranoid.”
Orellana-Rivera, who had the cab’s keys in his pants pocket,
told police that he opted to steal the car instead of walking
home from the hospital. Orellana-Rivera, who spent about
six hours at the medical center, was wearing a hospital
bracelet and had a pulse oxygen device still attached to
his finger when apprehended.
Orellana-Rivera was arrested for felony theft and jailed
in the Polk County lockup (where he is being held in lieu
of $5000 bond).

Re: PDF form fillers
Dear Webby,
You mentioned Nitro PDF program a couple of weeks ago.
My sister told me to get PDF-Exchange from Tracker-software.
What is the difference?
Edith
Dear Edith
If you just want to fill an occasional form, then the Nitro
will be cheaper. They have a free Reader, that has limited
"typing" abilities. For buying stuff or filling out your
taxes, that's good enough.
PDF-Exchange has no free version that i can see, but they
have much better typing and editing abilities.
If you are writing e-books and want to do fancy formatting,
then you might want to check out the PDF-Exchange.
You would still write the e-books with Open Office or WORD,
and save them as PDF. However, since neither of those two
are that good for picking up a PDF file and edit it,
an editor like Nitro or PDF-Exchange are handy for quickly
fixing a typo instead of opening the word processor doc,
fixing the typo, and saving it as PDF again.
And of course, filling forms is much easier with a
dedicated PDF program like those two.
Have FUN!

Upon entering the little country store, the stranger
noticed a sign saying:
DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!
posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed an old
hound dog sound asleep on the floor half way between
the door and the cash register.
He asked the store manager, "Is THAT the dog folks are
supposed to beware of?"
"Yep, that's him," he replied.
The stranger couldn't help but be amused.
"That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to
me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"
"Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that
sign, people kept tripping over him and bashing their
teeth out on the counter."

I couldn't help overhearing a man at a nearby
pay phone. "I know it's something you want,"
he said earnestly, "but I don't think tattoos are
a good idea. And the same goes for body piercing.
As long as you're living in my house, I think you
should respect my wishes."
I was secretly cheering him on for his fatherly
firmness.
Then came the 'coup de grace': "Besides, Ma,
you're 87 years old! You don't NEED a tattoo and a
nose ring!"

Noella's Blunders
It's not a cooking story, but here's one:
I have several friends who consider themselves to be very
spiritual.¯ They advised that I should watch the sunrise
every morning — that it would be a very spiritual experience
for me. It sounded good, so the next morning I got up early
enough to catch it.
I was still lying in my bed when I looked out the window and
saw the most beautiful yellow light ever. I gazed on that sun
as it was rising in the sky and felt an awesome sense of peace.
Then it slowly dawned on me that the sun wasn't rising.
I went to the window to check it out and found myself staring
at the light pole across the street!
I had a really spiritual epihany when I saw the light.
It was time to clean the windows.
